Registry of Death

A single-issue comic from Kitchen Sink Press, Registry of Death (1996) is a stark, self-contained meditation on mortality illustrated by Matthew Coyle. Its premise explores the bureaucratic and metaphysical process of cataloging souls after death, presenting a quiet, philosophical take on the end of life within a single, complete story. Though brief, the issue stands as a distinctive artifact of 1990s independent comics, showcasing Coyle's atmospheric art and Kitchen Sink's willingness to publish unconventional, introspective work.
